The Maryland Shield Law, also known as the Maryland Second Chance Act, went into effect on October 1st, 2015. The Law or Act, inter alia, allows individuals to use CleanRecordMd.com to shield certain criminal convictions from public view or public record.
igned by by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan on May 12th, 2015. the Act or Law authorizes CleanRecordMd.com to petition the court to shield court records and police records relating to shieldable convictions no earlier than three(3) years after the individual satisfies the sentence or sentences imposed for all convictions for which shielding is requested; providing that, if a person is convicted of a new crime during a specified time period, the original conviction or convictions are not eligible for shielding unless the new conviction becomes eligible for shielding; providing that shielded records remain accessible to specified entities. It should be noted that "shielding" is different from "expungement". Quite simply, expungement is more expansive and effective in cleaning up one's criminal record; but still, shielding is very helpful for a person.
Shielding can be possibly authorized for convictions of one of twelve(12) specified crimes. Shielding does not apply to a conviction for a domestically-related crime [ see, Guide For Shielding Of Maryland Second Chance Act Records (Criminal Procedure, Sections 10-301 through 10-306)].
